Ad Hoc School Safety Committee Schedules Meeting

The County Commission's Ad Hoc Committee on School Safety and Implementation, discussed here, will meet on February 28th at 5:30 PM at the Emergency Operations Center on Airport Road in Gallatin. 

The meeting, which falls AFTER the February 25th County Commission meeting, will ostensibly begin the process of this group formulating recommendations for improved school safety.  Because of the date, the earliest these recommendations could come before the full County Commission is March 17th.  Meanwhile, School Boards and County Commissions in Wilson, Rutherford, Robertson, Williamson, and Davidson counties have all taken action on school safety proposals and are moving forward with the implementation process.

No word on how many meetings this Ad Hoc committee will have or IF the School Board will even agree to adopt ANY of the policies proposed by the committee. 

The Board has requested physical improvements to facilities to enhance safety and also asked for a School Resource Officer (SRO) for every school in the district.  So far, a vote by the County Commission on that request has NOT been scheduled and it is not clear that the Board's request will be discussed by the Ad Hoc Committee.
